About

The Genomics Education Partnership is a nationwide collaboration of institutions that integrates active learning into the undergraduate curriculum through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences centered in bioinformatics and genomics.

Members

Our nationwide community of 250+ faculty from more than 200 colleges and universities are dedicated to facilitating equity in undergraduate biology education.

Curriculum

Our members use GEP materials in a wide variety of ways depending on the course structure and student backgrounds. These implementations range from incorporating short lessons into an existing course (e.g., using a genome browser to investigate eukaryotic gene structure) to participating in a genomics Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience centered around comparative gene annotation.

Research Projects

The Genomics Education Partnership introduces students to research in genomics by engaging them in projects for which careful annotation of genes from recently sequenced species provides important data. Many scientific questions can be addressed using comparative genomics, as evolution enables us to identify conserved features and important changes.

Students

Genomics Education Partnership students can receive real time support in GEP activities and research by visiting a Virtual TA.
